Drink This to Protect Against Parkinson's

By Kelley Herring

Current treatments for Parkinson's disease, like most pharmaceuticals, are associated with serious side effects. But researchers at State Key Laboratory of Brain & Cognitive Science in Beijing have found a safe and promising alternative: green tea.

In a new study published in Biological Psychiatry, researchers investigated the effects of green tea polyphenols in an animal model. They found that polyphenols help to protect the dopamine-producing brain cells that are lost as a result of Parkinson's disease.

Enjoy the brain-saving benefits of green tea every day. Look for organic green tea, which is higher in powerful phytonutrients and grown without the use of chemical fertilizers or pesticides.

It’s Good to Know: What Time It Is... Anywhere

Now there's no excuse for waking up friends and relatives in the middle of the night when you call them from a different time zone. Google tells you the local time almost anywhere in the world. Simply enter “time” in the search bar, followed by a city, state, or country. Hit enter, and Google will display the local time at that location.

Word to the Wise: Salutary

Salutary" (SAL-yuh-ter-ee) - derived from the Latin - means "beneficial" or "healthful."

Example (as used by Kenneth T. Walsh and Robert Simon in U.S. News): "Surviving a near-death experience has the salutary effect of concentrating the mind."
